"If we didn't have Char Crust, we'd be in trouble! We use it on everything."
- Eugenia C., Calumet City, IL
"I drive 54 miles just to get Char Crust."
- Patty P., Endicott, NY
"I love your product. My brother in law got me HOOKED on the Garlic Peppercorn. I put it on almost everything. I ran out and he couldn't find the Garlic Peppercorn, so he got me the Original Hickory Grilled and the flavor was amazing! We made our steaks with this spice, cut them into cubes, and made a stroganoff with it. My family didn't leave a morsel. Thank you for a great product. I just wish I could find it in more stores in Wisconsin."
- Leslie H., somewhere in WI
Original Hickory Grilled
Rich, hickory grilled flavor. This classy companion to your favorite steak is the original used at Al Farber's legendary steakhouse. A bit smoky-salty-sweet, it enhances the natural flavor without overwhelming. Also delicious on boneless/skinless chicken breasts, tuna steaks, and your favorite vegetables. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Roasted Garlic Peppercorn
"My husband loves Roasted Garlic Peppercorn Char Crust® so much, he'd roll our kids in it if I let him!" -- Nicole C., Stafford, VA
Now our best seller! Savory roasted garlic and fresh cracked peppercorns make music in your mouth. With added lilt of worcestershire and lavender, this symphonic sensation creates a crescendo of flavor with steak, lamb, fish (especially salmon), and roasted potatoes. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Java Buzz
Bold, roasty and sweet, with a fun little buzz. Like a perfectly pulled espresso, this rub starts with dark, rich coffee--microground so it is smooth, never gritty--and adds molasses, cocoa, and spices for complex flavor with a hint of heat. Wakes up beef, pork, and lamb. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
All American Barbecue
Everything you love about barbecue is here: molasses from Memphis, tangy tomato from Kansas, mustard, pepper, and vinegar from the Carolinas; and a wisp of smoke and chipotle from Texas. More than infatuation, this is true barbecue love! Lip-smacking good on ribs, chicken, corn-on-the-cob, and if you like ketchup on your eggs, try a sprinkle of All American Barbecue instead. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Ginger Teriyaki
"I have a cabinet in my kitchen dedicated to just Ginger Teriyaki Char Crust®!" -- Mickie P., Chicago, IL
Savor the harmony and balance of sweet teriyaki and fragrant shoga (ginger). Renowned for centuries for its tingly flavor and mythic love-enhancing quality, ginger lends exotic taste to this modern teriyaki interpretation. Most auspicious (and delicious) on chicken, shrimp, and steak. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Southwest Chipotle
"Wish I knew Southwest Chipotle (formerly "Smoky Spicy Southwest") Char Crust® was so good.....I would have bought a case instead of just one box!" -- Jessica B., Londonderry, NH
You inhale the heady aroma. Take your first bite: smoky, rich, almost sweet... then BANG). Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Amazin' Cajun
"I tried the Cajun Char Crust® the other day on salmon, and I think it may be my kids' new all-time favorite way to have salmon. They inhaled over 2 pounds of salmon in about 2 minutes! My husband and I practically had to fight them off with our forks to get some for ourselves! -- Cortney S.C., Chicago, IL
Spicy... sweet... seductive. Just like Louisiana herself. Enjoy our jazzy blend of piquant cayenne pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, and a melange of other Mardi Gras flavors. Bring the sublime heat of New Orleans to catfish, chicken, or shrimp, and let yourself be seduced. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Sun-Dried Tomato & Garlic
Imagine the Italian sun warming your face as you close your eyes and smell the luscious, vibrant aroma of sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, rosemary, and just a hint of lemon. Delicious on mild fish like tilapia, cod, haddock, or shrimp. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Hickory & Molasses
Deep, rich molasses. Not too sweet. Tangos on your tongue with natural hickory grilled flavor. Pair this award-winning rub with pork (tenderloin, chops, or roasts), chicken, turkey, or green beans for smoky, low-fat flavor. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
Roto Roast
"My Thanksgiving turkey with Roto Roast was FABULOUS! It was the first I ever did with Char Crust®. I used the broth and drippings for the gravy. I deglazed with white wine and strained out the nasty bits. I expect rave reviews. The broth is beyond tasty - dark brown & rich with flavor. FYI - I bought my Roto Roast at Sugar Valley Meats." -- Cathy W.M., Sugarcreek, OH
This one-step, all-purpose roasting rub brings the warm taste of european farmhouse cooking into your kitchen. Hungarian and spanish paprika, french rosemary, italian basil... with 12 other herbs and spices. Helps meat brown faster for juicy results. Perfect on poultry, prime rib, potatoes, and garlic. Note: Although Roto Roast Seals In The Juices®, it does not create the usual Char Crust® effect. Rather, it is more like a gourmet seasoned salt. Price: $5.49 each/4 oz.
